Alright, let’s break it down. For The Reef (Haifa), we’re looking at a dead zone for the next couple of weeks. It’s an inconsistent beach and reef break, and this stretch is all poor surf conditions. Water temp is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, about 80°F, 2°F above normal, but that’s about all we’ve got going for it.
We start on Friday the 3rd of July with a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW, a short period of 6 seconds, and very weak energy (62). The wind’s offshore from the W at 12 mph, but it’s still poor surf. Saturday the 4th stays small and messy with cross-on winds, energy just cracking triple digits on the afternoon (110). Sunday the 5th sees a bit more energy on the afternoon (150), but it’s cross-on and choppy. Monday the 6th through the end of the first week is the same: waist-high slop, cross or cross-on winds, short period wind swell.
Into the second week, it gets smaller. From Sunday the 12th of July, we’re down to knee-to-thigh-high dribble. Energy drops to the low teens on Sunday morning (12) and barely gets above 50 for most sessions. Winds stay light, but the swell is too small to do anything.
The only semi-decent window is Wednesday the 15th of July: a little 3ft WNW swell in the morning with a cross-shore breeze and gentle conditions. It’s the least bad moment in the whole 16 days, but still not worth the drive.
This is a normal dry spell for the area – The Reef rarely breaks, and when it does, it’s unreliable. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Information about the The Reef (Haifa) Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for The Reef (Haifa) provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at The Reef (Haifa) can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our The Reef (Haifa) surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (The Reef (Haifa)) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for The Reef (Haifa) may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
